PERFORMANCE GROUP

Wonderland is no longer just in the mind of Alice. In Don Zolidis’ new parody, Dr. What and his companion Cara crash into Wonderland. When the two are separated they meet all the usual suspects, mainly the Queen of Hearts, who is ready to chop off the heads of anyone who crosses her. It’s up to the time-traveling duo to escape and get their phone booth fixed before it’s off with their heads!

The Doctor in Wonderland premiered at Cedar Valley Middle School in Round Rock, TX in November 2016 under the direction of Kris Baker.
